Is fruit considered leaf and yard waste?
Fruit from trees such as apples, peaches, pears, cherries and plums is considered acceptable leaf and yard waste. As fruit tends to decompose more quickly than leaves or grass, put it in a reusable container instead of paper yard waste bags. A container full of fruit will easily weigh 23 kilograms (50 pounds) so keep an eye on the weight. Alternatively, put fruit in your green cart.
